The first picture is at dusks, so it kind of wrecks the true impact. Although you can still see there are a lot more towers now and its quite visible. You feel it on the street, the sidewalks downtown need to be widened.

Someone needs to do a 20 year shot like they did for Shanghai.

Too bad i cant post this whole collection, but HUGE shout out to the guy who made this winnipeg collection.

this really proves how underrated winnipeg is and that our skyline is better than what most people think.

My fav skylines in Canada:

1. Toronto (taken from island)
2. Vancouver (with Mountain backdrop)
3. Montreal (from the top of Mnt Royal)
4. Calgary (aerial)

It's very cool in person. The plaza out front isn't the greatest, though it has significantly improved with the opening of The Wonderland(statue), the Starbucks patio, and the addition of food trucks every day. Here's an interesting view of The Bow in the final stage of construction.

By the way, this Stock Aerial site is fantastic. So many good shots of Canada's 4 largest cities!
